While she was deep in thought, a black shadow enveloped them, followed by a voice.
"Praise the shadow. I am sorry to disturb you, but I am being sent here by my father. I hope you don't mind me barging in here."
Turning his gaze, Alex was met with a round, smiling face.
The man was shorter than Alex, around eye level, but his body was three times wider than Alex's.
Alex could see his triple chin jiggling when his lips moved to say something.
The man then shamelessly picked an empty chair between Lilly and Alex and sat on it.
CREAK!!! Alex could hear the protesting sound of the chair as its legs had already started to bend under the man's weight.
"Do you know him, Lilly?" Alex asked, while his eyes were still studying the man with short black hair and eyes.
Despite the man's size, his bonny cat tail and ears were small, making him look comical.
Lilly shook her head since she didn't know who he was.
